i'm using about 9 gallons of gypsum (both the prilled stuff that BAS carries AND some actual gypsum rock dust) per 66 cu ft of my soil base mix

that prilled stuff is nice but there is a bonding agent (probably just molasses) that makes those lil pellets all stick together... i just want to diversify my sources

So what do you think that would shake it to for me in my lil' ol' 60-100 gallon holes? I know there is a bunch of calcium carbonate in the soil here from spilling apple cider vinegar on the ground last season. Shit bubbled up like crazy.

66 cu ft is just under 500 gallons
so i'd say give your 100 gallons of base mix about one and a half gallons of gypsum by my rough estimation

....Good hearing you at least know it's not broken. Do you have a non stick pad or a grippy surface? You might be able to get away with bearing down a lot of pressure on the grinder with your good hand and twisting it like that?


I've been able to get by switching hands, using my little finger (currently my strongest) on the cap, keeping my wrist real straight and turning with my other hand... takes considerably longer, since I cant just twist the damn thing, but it works good enough...

I hate being hurt. Maybe you need a different approach. Nut chopper? Mini food processor? Or the old fashioned way of crumbling it between your fingers?

I like my spacecase but I'm not gonna torture myself to use it...

I had a cast on my hand a few months ago and it was my dominate hand too. Opening those child proof pill bottles was not my favorite part of the day. opening other things was was a challenge too. Had to switch my hands that I use to hold my pipe and lighter.

Ouch Seaf0ur, hope you get well soon. Watch out for them heavy duty grinders.

I'm busy gearing up for the hemp season. Acres upon acres boys.

I have a ton of moms ready to start cloning. Need to do some soil mixing.

The strain is 14% CBD at finish with .18% THC and a 6 week flowering time. Time to get busy..

I dont want a special grinder... I want my damned hand to work...
Everything was fine... right up until it wasn't...

I seriously wouldnt have imagined that I could screw my hand up this bad without tearing a tendon or breaking a bone... this tenosynovitis bullshit is for the fucking animals.
It could be a rupture of the synovium which would be much worse... as it is, my sheath is damaged, yet not torn, causing it to swell up, putting pressure on the tendons... it also has little pumps, like the stomach only instead of bile, these produce a type of lubrication.
When I damaged it, it stopped pumping synovial fluid (think oil on gears) so my tendons and joints in that hand dont have oil basically... the tendons bind on one another (inside the swollen synovium at that.) instead of slipping so that seriously limits movement... the tendons not slipping causes the most disquieting weakness... in addition, the joints dont have "oil" either, so they also bind up, are weak and hurt like hell.

I have gotten used to it a bit, and I can force things some despite how lovely it feels...
I figured out how to hold a lighter and actually strike it lit, so that helps me get stoned...

Life could always be worse I suppose...

MED news........got this in an email today

April 26, 2017 - In accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order (D 2015-015), the Colorado Department of Revenue (“DOR”), in conjunction with the Colorado Department of Agriculture (“CDA”) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”), are issuing an immediate health and safety advisory due to the identification of potentially unsafe pesticide residues on medical marijuana plant material and marijuana products produced from marijuana cultivated by Rocky Mountain Ways, LLC dba Good Meds. CDPHE and DOR deem it a threat to public health and safety when pesticides that are not on the list of approved pesticides for marijuana use as determined by CDA are applied in a manner inconsistent with the pesticide’s label. CDA confirmed the presence of the Off-Label Pesticides, Pyrimethanil, Tebuconazole, and Spinosyn, in the product samples tested. Affected products include marijuana flower, trim, concentrates, and infused-products.

Consumers who have these affected products in their possession should return them to the medical center from which they were purchased so they can be properly disposed of. All affected marijuana has a label affixed to the container that at a minimum indicates the license number of the medical marijuana business that cultivated the marijuana. Consumers should check the label of their medical marijuana for the following license number and harvest batch numbers: Medical Optional Premises Cultivation License 403-001122 and/or Medical Marijuana Center License 402-00738 B11H15.041317-Headband B11H15.041317-Night Terror OG B11H15.041217-Citrix

Actually it's the growing facility who you should be directing that towards, even if it's the same company that owns both dispensary and the growing facility. Place blame directly where it's due, so that those who deserve that credit, receive that credit. Oh and remember shit rolls down hill, so the retail store will get some of that "credit".

I'm not going to bother... tired of the more criminally oriented folks walking off with whole plants, halfway flowered, at 0-dark-hundred.
I live in a bad spot for that type of thing.
I had multiple plants in multiple locations last year and didnt get to trim a single one.

So how do we leverage this in the court of public opinion against "toxic" warehouse grows in favor of holistic smaller home grows?
